The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. There's just not much on offer.
The only spot in the game is The Reef (Haifa). It's a beach-and-reef setup that's inconsistent and rarely breaks properly. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a tough run. From Sunday, September 6th right through to Monday, September 21st, the swell is tiny and the conditions are poor. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, barely cracking 48 on the first day and dropping to single digits by the middle of the month. The best we see is a combined energy of 63 on the afternoon of Monday, September 7th, but that's still a far cry from anything rideable.
The swell is a meager 1.0 ft to 3 ft from the WNW, with a short, weak period of 4 to 8 seconds. That's just windswill, not real groundswell. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, adding to the chop. There are a couple of glassy mornings on Wednesday, September 9th, Tuesday, September 15th, and Wednesday, September 16th, but with a swell height of 2 ft to 1.0 ft and a combined energy of 52 or less, it's still flat and unrideable.
Honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The setup is beach-and-reef, and with the onshore winds and tiny, weak chop, it's just not worth a trip. There are no standouts here. The forecast can change, but right now, it's a solid blank run. Hang tight.
Rusty.

Information about the The Reef (Haifa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Reef (Haifa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Reef (Haifa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Reef (Haifa) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Reef (Haifa)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
